Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! I hope you have a beautiful weekend and are able to enjoy something sweet! Here are a few of my favs...

Pinkberry


My in-laws live in California so when we visit we also visit Pinkberry. Daily. Oh, how I love thee. I'm beyond excited that a store is opening in Vancouver this summer!

My Dad's Art

My dad is incredibly creative and extremely gifted when it comes to putting his ideas on canvas. When you walk into his home there is art everywhere. It's fantastic. Check out some of his work here!

Tina Fey - Bossypants
Tina is HI-larious. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading her book on my commute to and from work (with a few embarrassing belly laughs in between).

Cake-Sicle Pan

This the coolest idea. Ever. Not that I need another reason to bake cookies but lucky for me, now I have one.

Bon Appetit - Rhubarb & Raspberry Crostata



I will leave you with this. Because this looks silly delicious and thinking of topping this with a scoop of ice-cream puts a smile on my face... and I can only assume that we smile about the same things :)

    The crostata is almost shaped like the sake-sicle pan. I suppose it can be made in the pan, topped with pinkberry ice cream:) Have a great weekend

    I've never seen cake-sticle pans! That is GENIUS!

    Pinkberry is in NYC so I always eat it when I'm visiting my sister. It just opened in Tampa so I'm THRILLED (2nd one scheduled to open soon that's closer to me too)

    Have a LOVELY weekend!

    the cake-sicle pan must be in my kitchen and SOON!

    also in southern california is a froyo place called menchies-- i highly suggest. they have more froyo flavors than pinkberry, and you get to add your own toppings. it's pay-by-the-ounce, but there's a lot more to choose from than at pinkberry!

    I've been eyeing up that crostata too.. I've seen it on Epi and The Kitchn and I think it need to be made this weekend.

    I made summer fruits crostata last night for the first time and I can safely say that it made me smile! :) Also ice cream is definitely a necessary topping! :)

    Hi Mary! I just visited your dad's website and I love his abstract pieces! You must have his artistic gene to take pictures etc. Very nice!

    I enjoyed reading your Friday favorites and I have to say your crostata is the best, of course.

    Oh goodness. These all look amazing! I think if I had a cake-sicle pan I would be baking daily, not just weekly :p I also love frozen yoghurt and think I could quite happily eat it several times a day. The only catch is that it's not always easy to find in Australia...I'm sure we'll catch up one day though.

    The first image on your post made me smile; i have a friend who goes there every day of his life! I loved it, to me this is the best frozen yogurt shop out there, loved the lychee flavor with a squeeze of lime. Your dad's art is incredible.

    That cake-sickle pan looks so cute! But unfortunately first on my list of things I'm trying to stop myself from buying is an Eclair tin! It's so hard not to collect kitchen clutter!

    I am loving that cakesicle pan. Too cute. There isn't a Pinkberry anywhere in the Boston area, but perhaps I should try it next time I am out in my sister's direction (Vancouver).

    Bossypants keeps getting recommended to me automatically by Amazon -- good to know that it IS good! Now I'll go order it ;) because I only have 5 other books being delivered this week. The UPS man and I have an understanding about not telling my poor husband ;) haha.

    I STILL have never had pinkberry. I KNOW. I live in Great Falls Montana. If anyone in, you know, civilization wants to adopt me, I'm down.

    Your father is a wonderful artist. My idea of a well spent afternoon would include a visit to Pinkberry and a long, slow wander through a gallery of his work. Thanks for sharing it with us!

    Pinkberr just opened in the building next door to my apartment - I'm ecstatic but also a little scared of the proximity haha. Been thinking about buying Tina Fey's book, glad to hear you like it!

    Haha, love that cake-sicle pan. Pinkberry is one of my favorite froyo spots in San Diego. Tart yogurt with mango, coconut, mochi and blueberries. Yum :)
